A new initiative under the Gender Action Plan (GAP) at the Tina River Hydropower Project Office is empowering local women by partnering with the Bahomea women’s group to supply fresh vegetables and fruits to Hyundai Engineering Company’s (HEC) kitchen at the project’s campsite.

This inaugural collaboration marks a significant step towards promoting women’s economic development in the region.

The Tina River Hydropower Project Office has announced that, in the future, the Malatoha and Belaha women’s groups will also be included in this initiative.

A statement from the Tina River Hydropower Project Office stated, “This initiative is not just about providing fresh produce – it’s about empowering women and recognizing their important role in our communities and the economy.

“By involving women in this process, we’re boosting local businesses and creating sustainable livelihoods for families.” The statement said.

The GAP initiative continues to focus on creating more opportunities for women, ensuring they are at the forefront of growth, progress, and sustainability in the community.

The Tina River Hydropower Project Office remains committed to fostering women’s involvement in local economic development and supporting gender equality.
